THUD! THWACK!
A room ever so silent
THWACK! WHAM!
It's peace, disturbed by fist striking punching bag,
But no, this was not the same,
The bag, usually made out of high-quality leather was different,
Instead of leather, its outer shell was made out of pure steel,
No, this steel was too dark to be considered ordinary.
As Ken punched it, it didn't move, it just stood there as if wall of unyielding object.
THUD! THWACK!
Ken's arms still punching,
Blood overflowing due to the injury the steel's outer caused,
And yet as if unaffected, he struck.
THUD! THWACK!
Increasing power, as slightly visible shock waves shook the room,
His fists, moving with such strength that each strike seemed to break the barrier of sound itself.
And then
BANG!
It finally moved,
The part where steel and fist met, was hole of knuckle,
Its movement was so faint that he didn't see it, but he felt its slight vibration through the air,
And as if by magic, his wounds began to react,
Being covered by a strange liquid like steam of blue,
Its movements unnaturally smooth, healing all that was lost, blood overflowing, wounds going back to place,
And in less than a second, he was fully restored,
"It has improved", he thought, thinking about the amount of cursed energy each use of RCT cost,
At best he would be able to heal about 4 serious wounds,
Aside from the templates, he had his own cursed energy, which meant the cursed energy taken was that of his own,
'Does that mean I'll be able to have my own technique', Ken thought, as he felt as though it made sense,
'unless of course the system itself is my technique, but that wouldn't make sense because it didn't use any of my energy to activate'
Thinking alone in the consciousness of his mind, he left the gym,
And as if by command, the metal that covered the punching bag turned into liquid,
floating with speeds so serious, it darted directly toward Ken,
And before it could meet his body, it disappeared before its impact,
As if his aura swallowed it whole.

Ken now came out of the shower, his body clothed with pajamas for the night.
The sound of the boiling hot kettle that sang all the way from the kitchen,
The rain started pouring,
RRRRRRUMBLE!!!
As the sound of thunder spoke from the heavens,
as if mocking him,
He moved his body and prepared dinner, nothing special, just some rice and chicken,
Walking to the living room, he sat down and began his feast,
The sound of the rain pouring over the far, outstretched mansion's ceiling,
The silence of its empty rooms that waited for his enter,
It wasn't quiet, it wasn't peaceful,
It was… lonely
Too lonely,
His phone as if feeling ache, vibrated with its call.
Picking the phone up,
It was Mei, who seemed to always call at the most perfect of times,
Calling at a time before the fall of pillar,
Before collapse.
CLICK!
'Sup Mei?", Ken spoke his smile wide, unashamed of its visible presence,
Unaware of the danger it held, the danger of its tepid embrace.

"How many recommendations this year", a small stout creature spoke, his high-pitched voice booming yet silent,
"About 7", Eraser Head answered, his eyes a bit closed as he almost spilt the tea he held,
Noticing this, he drank it with one motion, as he looked to his left, he noticed Present Mic looking at him with an expression of pure daze
"It's not that hot", Aizawa shot back,
And Present Mic couldn't help but look at his own cup,
So hot that it had pure steam of heat coming out of it,
"Ahem", Nezu brought them to attention, "Which ones from them do you think shows promise",
"Well, considering the name of their quirks, I would say, Shoto Todoroki seems to have the most potential,
his quirk is called Fire Ice, but Endeavour said he refuses to use the fireside of his ability,"
"Huh, that's troublesome", Nezu replied, as he took a sip of the tea he had on hand, "and the rest",
"Well, if we include All Might's recommendation, they all seem to have a vast amount of potential", he said, "but…",
He hesitated,
"But?", Nezu raised his brows
"The Safety Committee has sent a recommendation", he spoke, surprising both Nezu and Present Mic.
"That has never happened before", Present Mic protested in a heavy voice, "it's an organization, how were they allowed to do that",
"Well they claimed they aren't grooming him for employment, but even if they are, there is little we can do", Eraser Head commented,
"His potential?", Nezu asked
"I have no idea", Eraser Head replied, his voice cracking low, and his body relaxing on the sofa almost too comfortably,
"His quirk is mysterious too, its name is Kagune, which shouldn't even be allowed as a quirk name since it brings almost no hint of what type of ability he has, but surprisingly,
They seemed to let it slide and allow it, which was also mysterious as a whole,"
"Red Child", Nezu whispered slightly, 'how interesting'.

"Ken the entrance exam is tomorrow", Mei said, as she held her phone on ear point inside of her warm blankets,
"you should go to sleep",
CREAK!
The door slightly opened
"Ken I have to go", Mei whispered, as she quickly tried to turn off her phone,
and pretended to be asleep, her room's light was shut,
so she didn't realize before closing her eyes that her phone was still lit,
Her mother, the one responsible for opening the door, just looked at her for a second,
and revealed a visible smile, her smile so genuine, one might think it reflected the dark,
Shaking her head, she closed the door slowly, her eyes and smile, showing signs of happiness,
And Mei who pretended to be asleep, had actually lost consciousness,
Her sheets were so warm that the moment she closed her eyes to pretend, the sleep took hold and her slumber became reality,
THUD!
Door closing shut, night light off,
slumber pending,
Dreams coming, night fading,
Till tomorrow when light would come.
